Setting the time through an NTP server

An NTP server can automatically set the switch date and time. To configure the switch to use an NTP server,
enter the set setup system ntp command in an Admin session to enable the NTP client on the switch
and specify the NTP server IP address, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> set setup system ntp
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
Current Values:
NTPClientEnabled
NTPServerDiscovery
NTPServerAddress
New Value (press ENTER to accept current value, 'q' to quit, 'n' for none):
NTPClientEnabled
NTPServerDiscovery
NTPServerAddress
Do you want to save and activate this system setup? (y/n): [n] y
